.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBpoolcfg\fR utility provides configuration operations on pools and sets.
These operations are performed upon an existing configuration and take the form
of modifications to the specified configuration file. If you use the \fB-d\fR
option, the modifications occur to the kernel state. Actual activation of the
resulting configuration is achieved by way of the \fBpooladm\fR(8) utility.
.sp
.LP
Pools configuration files are structured files that must have been constructed
using \fBpoolcfg\fR itself or \fBlibpool\fR(3LIB) directly.
.sp
.LP
An invocation of \fBpoolcfg\fR with the pool dynamic location and write
permission will hang if the dynamic location has already been opened for
writing.
.sp
.LP
The configurations which are created by this utility can be used by
\fBpooladm\fR to instantiate the configuration upon a target host.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-c\fR \fIcommand\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 19n
Specify \fIcommand\fR as an editing command. See \fBUSAGE\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-d\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 19n
Operate directly on the kernel state. No \fIfilename\fR is allowed.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-f\fR \fIcommand_file\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 19n
Take the commands from \fIcommand_file\fR. \fIcommand_file\fR consists of
editing commands, one per line.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-h\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 19n
Display extended information about the syntax of editing commands.
.RE

.SH USAGE
.SS "Scripts"
.sp
.LP
A script consists of editing commands, one per line, of the following:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBinfo [\fIentity-name\fR]\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display configuration (or specified portion) in human readable form to standard
output. If no entity is specified, system information is displayed. Therefore,
\fBpoolcfg\fR \fB-c\fR \fB\&'info' afile\fR is an equivalent invocation to
\fBpoolcfg\fR \fB-c\fR \fB\&'info system name' afile\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBcreate \fIentity-name\fR [\fIproperty-list\fR]\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBdestroy \fIentity-name\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Remove the specified entity.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBmodify \fIentity-name\fR [\fIproperty-list\fR]\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Change the listed properties on the named entity.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBassociate \fIpool-name\fR [\fIresource-list\fR]\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Connect one or more resources to a pool, or replace one or more existing
connections.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBtransfer to\fR [\fIresourcetype\fR] \fIname\fR[\fIcomponent-list\fR]
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Transfer one or more discrete components to a resource .
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBtransfer [\fIquantity\fR] from [\fIresourcetype\fR] [\fIsrc\fR] to
[\fItgt\fR]\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Transfer a resource quantity from \fIsrc\fR to \fItgt\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBtransfer [\fIquantity\fR] to [\fIresourcetype\fR] [\fItgt\fR] from
[\fIsrc\fR]\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBdiscover\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Create a system entity, with one pool entity and resources to match current
system configuration. All discovered resources of each resource type are
recorded in the file, with the single pool referring to the default resource
for each resource type.
.sp
This command is a NO-OP when \fBpoolcfg\fR operates directly on the kernel. See
the \fB-d\fR option.
.sp
You should avoid use of this command. The preferred method for creating a
configuration is to export the dynamic configuration using \fBpooladm\fR(8)
with the \fB-s\fR option.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBrename \fIentity-name\fR to \fInew-name\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Change the name of an entity on the system to its new name.

where the last definition in the sequence for a given proptype, name pair is
the one that holds. For property deletion, use \fB~ proptype name\fR.
.SS "Resource Lists"
